Mike, All,



We're told,  that at least 500 acres of trees get knocked down each day to

make paper for receipts. Something totally needless in an electronic world.



I know of one company that spends $700,000 per year on paper to print

statements. There must be tens of thousands of others needlessly consuming

world resources.



People *expect* that ebXML will do something about providing solutions that

will slow down the very real carnage that is going on in the world.



It's possible that people in America may have disposed themselves of the

Kioto treaties, but the rest of the world hasn't.



Please give us a bit of a break, technical people like myself need

"specifications" for electronic commerce so that we can produce solutions to

solve these world problems.



That's what we were told to expect from ebXML !
